Samuel L. Jackson - biography

“I never had one beer.  If I bought a six-pack of beer, I kept drinking till all six beers were gone.  You have to have that kind of understanding about yourself.  I haven’t had a drink now in 12 years.”

“I actually think I have an audience member’s sensibility about going to the movies.”

“I look at myself as an audience member.  I still love movies, and I still go and sit in the back of the big dark room with everybody else, and I want the same thrill.”

“I’ve been fortunate to be in films that are classic, that are going to be around.”

“Long Kiss Goodnight has a huge cult following.  They could make another version of that movie right now and make a lot of money.”

“Not everybody goes to movies to get their life changed.”

“If you have an opportunity to use your voice you should use it.”

“I guess the worst day I have had was when I had to stand up in rehab in front of my wife and daughter and say ‘Hi, my name is Sam and I am an addict.’”
